Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

LUCAS GIRLING and the Dayton-Walther Corporation, of Dayton, Ohio, are to establish a joint company in the USA to manufacture commercial vehicle brakes for the North American market.

The initial product line will include hydraulic disc and drum brakes for classes 6 and 7.

Lucas Girling's initial contribution will be in rear drum brake designs for 5.8 to 9.8-ton axles.

Automatic adjustment for the two-leading-shoe design is by the Lucas Girling fluid sealed drive-ring adjuster located inside the wheel cylinder.

In the longer term, the partners intend to collaborate in developing the joint company's product line both in air and hydraulic systems.
